Update Teaching Reminder Email Template - Event Detail Link Needed

[dartajax]

Here is an example of what instructors receive via email to advise them of their upcoming teaching session. The part that we should change is the URL pointing the instructor to a course in Ilios. At least we could have included the session ID as well in the URL initially. What is really needed at this point in any case is to direct the instructor to the Event Detail screen where all the details, including learning materials and instructional information, is presented easily for the user. So we want to replace this "https://curriculum.ucsf.edu/courses/[course_id]" with something like this "https://curriculum.ucsf.edu/events/[event_link]".

sample event link: "U20210531O185735"
sample course_id: 1782

@stopfstedt check about data points being in the template ... or not

well, i got pretty close on this. but ultimately, it's a can't-do.

what we are missing here is the context about the end-users current timezone. in the frontend, this context is given by the user's browser or operating system. on the server-side, we don't have that info.
so we cannot bring that frontend functionality into the backend - the backend-generated event-slug, and therefore the URL to the event, will be incorrect/broken, depending on teaching reminder recipient's current time-of-the-day and/or timezone.

so that's a nyet, sorry.
